Adrianne & Adam Harris: July 2014

Guess who's 4 months old???

This post is a little late, but I did actually take his 4 month picture on the 12th. I just wanted to wait until after his doctor's appointment on the 14th so I could post his new stats, but as usual I never got around to actually posting.

At 4 months:

He weighed 14 lbs, 4 oz and was 26 inches long which was 50th and 70-80th percentiles respectively.
He got more shots at his 4 month appointment without any problems. He was still a happy baby after his shots. :(
He is wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers.
He is still exclusively breastfeeding at the same time intervals which finds me very tired these days. He is waking up anywhere from 1-3 times a night. Mostly just twice.
Which brings me to sleeping arrangements..... He still has his own bed next to our bed, but he finds himself in our beds most nights. It's just easier that way with all these nightly feedings!
He definitely has brown eyes and is now growing BLONDE hair back. I guess he is his daddy's child (at least that's what I'm hearing from most people these days).
We had a MAJOR MILESTONE this month! Exactly 1 year from the day we found out I was pregnant, Knox decided to roll over on July 7th! Just as I suspected, he rolled back to front first, but he ended up rolling front to back before the day was over. So I guess he really did both ways at the same time. I was actually lucky enough to get his first front to back roll on video. I was trying to video the back to front roll for my mom to send to her and he just happened to roll the other way while I was filming. I got way too excited!
Now that he's rolling, he's really on the move and gets bored in one place. He shimmy's down in his bouncy chair. Got a picture down below for your enjoyment. We bought him a bouncer thingy that hangs from the doorway (forgot what its called). He's a little small for it now, but he loves it! I can't wait until he can really jump up and down in it.
He is REEEEEEALLY getting his personality now. He laughs. I mean belly laughs. Don't worry, I have that on camera too!
He loves his hands. He chews and sucks on them constantly. About a week or so ago, we actually thought he was cutting a tooth. He cried for 2 days straight! But, then he stopped and their wasn't a tooth. Who knows? Probably just some relentless gas.
He has gotten to the stage where he is drooling a lot.
He has also gotten to a stage where he is starting to dislike the car/carseat. He doesn't ALWAYS cry when I put him in it, but I can't almost always tell when he is going to pitch a fit.
He still LOVES a bath or water in general. The bath is our last resort in the case of a meltdown. I have a sweet video of him kicking and splashing in the water. I can't share it on here, but trust me it's adorable!

Over the last month, I have officially survived a month of work. It hasn't been bad at all. I'm just very thankful I get days off to spend with my baby boy! I'm also VERY thankful for FaceTime so I can see my baby boy even while I work!

Y'all I don't wear glasses, but maybe I should...
Do I look smarter? Maybe people would take me more serious?

Adam's had his first Father's Day this year and I'm sad to report I had to miss it. It was my first week back to work which fell on my weekend to work which fell on Father's Day! I was so disappointed when I realized it, but I didn't let the day go by without getting Adam's Father's Day picture and letting him know what a wonderful father he is to Knox already.

Heading to church.

We celebrated our 3rd anniversary which was much different this year. Instead of taking off to some tropical island, we took off to Birmingham the weekend before our anniversary since I had to work on our anniversary. We dropped Knox off with Adam's brother and wife (Ben and Wendy) while we went to Cheesecake Factory. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures on our date, but I did get a picture with my beautiful flowers my sweet husband sent to me at work! I still love Adam more every day! I'm so so so blessed with a WONDERFUL husband and father for Knox! I know I say that all the time, but it's so true!

I worked July 4th again this year. It's not so bad working holidays. They tend to be really slow days and the hours are scaled back 10a-6p. So after I got off, we shot fireworks with his family at our farm.
